Good UI, decent game-loop, a story with far more effort put into it than your run-of-the-mill HTML game: Tons to like, little to critique.

(Maybe try a bit of restraint when it comes to the character-roster.)

Hoping this comes back sooner than later.

Looks like Feebs isn't gonna post it here so I'll just do it instead. Not sure whether to call the game abandoned or on-hold since he might return in the future, but for now the project is flat-lined as Feebs called it himself.

Not gonna copy Feebs message here, but you can read it on his discord if anyone is curious.
There is a link to the source file as well if anyone wanted to take over the project.

Gateway v5.0.0c:

Feebs mentioned that this was more of a story focused update with less focus on the management side of things.
Most of the main story has been advanced to where he wanted it to be. It just needed some tightening up at the end.
There's an optional lore event in New Eden that ties up loose ends from much earlier in the game. A lot of it is done, but again it lacks an ending.
The festival can be repeated as well, but no new events have been added.
There is of course more not to mention lewds, I just wanted to highlight a few of the things that was added.
Changelog can be found in the in-game changelog.

Last thing: Expect bugs. Feebs never got around to fix the bugs us testers submitted to him during the 5.0 test builds.

paste the image into one of the free AI tool demos, it will transcribe it for you. Qwen would do it.
Thank you so much for the hint - I didn't even know it was possible to translate text from a photo! Amazing!!! What progress has been made!

P.S. Deleted my original request as unnecessary, so as not to flood.

Here are the two relevant messages in plain text, starting with the "on hold" announcement posted five months ago:
Feebs (Gateway #info on Discord said:
Stalled Progress
After my positive post last month on SS, this month has been unfortunately far more negative with very little progress made. I even ragequit the other day when one of the scenes I'd prepared had the male actor being too noisy for my needs.

I've decided to take a break. I think I've always made it clear this is a hobby for me, and I think I just need a change of pace for a little bit. I intend to pursue some other projects for 4-6 weeks then return, hopefully refreshed. Not too dissimilar to my unexpected break last year. Perhaps I need a month away every year, or maybe it's just the heat sapping all my energies.

Either way, I will put SS into vacation mode for six weeks (even if I return earlier) but the private server will remain available throughout.
And the "abandoned" message posted yesterday:
Feebs (Gateway #info on Discord) said:
I think, given I haven't touched it, and didn't even notice Discord was closed for the last month, I need to go ahead and call it flat-lined. Maybe my motivation will come back later, I don't know. But right now, unfortunately I haven't even sorted the bugs reported with the 5.0 test builds over a month ago.

I had a brief resurgence in October, and posted work was back on, but unfortunately the motivation dissipated and hasn't returned again since. I feel I already stringed you along unintentionally with that October update, so just gonna say it's dead. Maybe I'll get some motivation in future but I don't really want to promise anything.

The first file is the latest version with content you've yet to see. It has some bugs Jaokard and speedzr1 found that I did not fix. Apologies. It includes a file called StoryNotes which are some vague bullet points of how I saw the story unfolding. Not the best closure, very broad, and never set in stone, but at least you can see where it was heading, even if you can't experience it, should you want.


The second file is the source code, in case anyone else wants to take over the project without having to mess with Twine's interface. (though I changed styles throughout as I learned more).


A big thank you to Jaokarb, sppedzr1, Shazamify for all their patience and time, supporting the community, and just all round being awesome, as well as to everyone who supported the game. I apologize I've not finished what I started, and ended it with yet another abandoned HTML game, but I no longer enjoy working on this game. I hope at least the content I did give you, was enjoyable.

Yes Very Unfortunate: As I haven't played it in a while The bugs need to be fixed and since I'm just learning Twine and have no other real coding experience I am not up to the Task> I will try to continue learning hopefully some0ne else will help fix n the bugs before then. Because I really don't learn as fast as I used to LOL

Nooo, this was one of my favorite games :(

Well if someone could at least clean up bugs in the latest version that would be something, I'm not holding out much hope for some knowledgeable person to do that.

Is it worth playing? Is there incest story worth playing in the game, even if it's unfinished?
Thank you to whomever answers.

Here you go. Apologies, i didn't think about just taking a screenshot, i don't post here often ^^ View attachment 5534899
I respect a dev that honestly announces they're simply not feeling it anymore. Better than all the devs that supposedly developed supercanceraids after discovering that their entire family perished in a horrible alpaca fluffing accident.
